Chinese bobsleigh players debut at the Winter Olympics! Slide out the first step to win the first

On the evening of February 5, the first round of the men's single bobsleigh at the Beijing Winter Olympics was conducted at the Yanqing National Bobsleigh Center, and Chinese player Fan Duoyao became the first Chinese bobsleigh player in history to board the Winter Olympics. In the Winter Olympics snowboarding women's steeplechase qualification tournament held on the same day, 20-year-old Chinese youngster Jung competed, and this project is also the first time that the Chinese team has qualified for the Winter Olympics. Next, the Chinese team will also achieve a historic breakthrough in the first participation in more projects, and the first person in the domestic project will emerge.

More and more first-time participation is enough to prove that China's ice and snow sports have achieved leapfrog development, which is a great contribution of the hosts to the Winter Olympics. The total number of Chinese sports delegations participating in the XXIV Winter Olympic Games is 387, including 176 athletes, which is the largest participation in the history of Chinese sports delegations. It is proud that the Chinese sports delegation completed the task of "participating in all 7 major events and 15 sub-events" of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and won a total of 104 minor events and 194 seats, accounting for 95.4% of all 109 minor events, and the number of participants and athletes has increased significantly. New people are emerging, and the trend of the times is the same.

In the first competition, due to the lack of competition ability and the lack of experience in the same field with the masters, the final results and rankings of the young players were somewhat unsatisfactory. Fan Duoyao said frankly: The first time I stepped on the field of the Winter Olympics, I felt very different, which made me feel a little stressed, really a little nervous. But this is nothing, to stand on the field of the Winter Olympics and achieve a "zero to one" breakthrough for China in this project, which is a great achievement in itself, and it is a victory worthy of a big book. What's more, Chinese has long bid farewell to the "only gold medal theory" and will no longer talk about heroes with gold medals, as long as they show their due mental outlook, they will also win respect and applause.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Winter Olympic Games, as a post-00 athlete of the "pioneer", must have the vigor of "the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger", have the courage to fight and dare to fight, show the results of the usual training, humbly learn from high-level athletes abroad, and accumulate competition experience to lay a better foundation for themselves and future generations. When people evaluate a country's sports teams, especially those that have achieved many outstanding talents, they often emphasize the deep roots. But the foundation is not innate, but accumulated by the hard work of generations of athletes, we are happy to see more leaders, but also hope to see more people who lay the foundation.

Looking at the history of China's Olympic Participation, it is precisely because there are many firsts and first people that there are more people who have won the first place. Of course, we are also redefining the first, reconstructing our relationship with the Olympics. We will still be proud of the athletes who won the championship, and still hope that more Chinese athletes will win Olympic gold medals, but we also realize more and more clearly that we should also pursue the first place in national fitness and healthy China; everyone should be a healthier version of themselves.

Before the Beijing Winter Olympics, China fulfilled its solemn commitment to bring 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports, which was praised by the International Olympic Committee as a milestone contribution to ice and snow sports. With such a large number of participants and such a high enthusiasm for participation, more outstanding ice and snow athletes will surely emerge, thus consolidating the mass foundation of China's ice and snow sports and boosting China's ice and snow sports to a new level.
